Abstract

A method performed by a first communication device operating in a wireless communications network. The first communication device obtains a first set of one or more values indicating an observed speed of a boat relative to a power of an engine of the boat. The speed and the first indication are obtained by from sensors in the boat. The first communication device then obtains a second indication of an external factor on the hull of the boat causing friction against water. The obtaining of the second indication is based at least on: the obtained first set, and a reference. The reference is based on one of: a) a threshold, and b) a mathematical model. The first communication device also initiates providing a third indication of the external factor to a device, based on the obtained second indication.
